Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Branksome

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
